To further elaborate:

F = full fare F seats.

A = discounted F seats (YUPs), F seats for people traveling on first class round-the-world tickets, and F seats used for passengers upgrading from Y on 2-class flights, and from J on 3-class flights, using either miles or VIP upgrade certificates.

P = more deeply discounted F seats (usually KUPs).

Z (a "hidden" fare class not viewable on seatcounter) = F seats available for award travel.

A, P and Z are all subsets of F.
